I/UCRC: IT-Enabled Design and Realization of Engineered Products and Systems

俄勒冈州州立大学（OSU）将加入电子设计中心IUCRC作为一个完整的大学成员研究网站。现有的NSF电子设计中心的使命和愿景是研究和开发方法和工具，以支持实现新的设计范式，可用于开发新的工程产品和系统。这种新的模式允许设计和产品实现是客户驱动的协同电子设计环境，支持透明的分析，以及虚拟仿真和原型。这种新的设计范式包括对开发中的产品或系统的整个生命周期的考虑。该中心研究和开发了一些使能技术，以支持拟议的电子设计模式。俄勒冈州立大学的教师和学生研究人员在与现有电子设计中心的使命和愿景协同的领域工作。该团队是跨学科的，包括来自七个学校和部门以及几个大学学院和研究所的24名研究人员。俄勒冈州立大学团队的研究活动将特别加强中心在过程，产品和复杂系统设计，分析和优化领域的努力。OSU团队满足中心的具体需求集中在以下领域：1）系统设计分析和优化，2）决策分析; 3）计算设计和创新。OSU的加入加强了电子设计中心及其作为重要国家资源的作用，能够取得以下成果：1）纳入多学科观点，以确保在工程产品和/或系统的设计中开发卓越的新范式; 2）概念建模工具的实现，旨在缩短设计周期，并确保最大限度地实现设计目标，以供人类使用; 3）实现经济和供应链设计优化的环境; 4）建立一个专门知识的临界质量，重点是开发一个电子设计建模和模拟软件平台和虚拟原型工具，以及实现基于仿真的采办的策略。所提出的努力将大大有助于成功地发展和准备研究生和七个学院和系的本科生。这项研究工作的结果将被整合到教育课程，以丰富学生的学习经验，设计，建模与仿真，决策分析，快速成型，制造和基于仿真的收购课程。与电子设计中心相关的学生将获得职业发展机会，包括实验室和实地研究，出席跨学科会议和研讨会，设计座谈会系列，参与跨学科活动和期刊出版物，以及研究道德行为的培训。俄勒冈州立大学加入该中心有助于该中心的多样性。其中一个共同的PI以及超过25%的参与教师是女性，通常在工程中代表性不足。PI和其他俄勒冈州立大学教师将强调妇女和少数民族研究生和本科生的参与。研究和教育成果将与业界分享，该中心将致力于技术转让。

Oregon State University (OSU) will be joining the Center for e-Design IUCRC as a full university member research site. The mission and vision of the existing NSF Center for e-Design is to research and develop methods and tools that support the realization of a new design paradigm that can be used to develop new engineered products and systems. This new paradigm allows design and product realization to be customer driven in a collaborative e-design environment that supports transparent analysis, as well as virtual simulation and prototyping. This new design paradigm encompasses consideration of the entire life cycle of the product or system under development. The Center researches and develops a number of enabling technologies to support the proposed e-design paradigm. OSU has faculty and student researchers working in areas that are synergistic with the mission and vision of the existing Center for e-Design. The team is interdisciplinary, including 24 researchers from seven schools and departments across and several university colleges and institutes. Research activities of the OSU team will especially strengthen the Centers efforts in the area of process, product, and complex system design, analysis, and optimization. The specific needs within the Center to be met by the OSU team are focused in the following areas: 1) System Design Analysis and Optimization, 2) Decision Analysis; 3) Computational Design and Innovation. The addition of OSU strengthens the Center for e-Design and its role as a significant national resource capable of the following results: 1) inclusion of a multi-disciplinary viewpoint needed to ensure the development of a new paradigm of excellence in the design of engineered products and/or systems; 2) realization of conceptual modeling tools aimed at reducing design cycle time and ensuring maximum achievement of design goals for human use; 3) realization of an environment for economic and supply chain design optimization; 4) establishment of a critical mass of expertise focused on the development of an e-Design modeling and simulation software platform and virtual prototyping tools, as well as strategies for achieving simulation based acquisition.The proposed effort will contribute significantly to the successful development and preparation of graduate and undergraduate students across seven schools and departments. Results of this research effort will be integrated into the educational curriculum to enrich the student learning experiences in design, modeling and simulation, decision analysis, rapid prototyping, manufacturing, and simulation based acquisition courses. Students associated with the Center for e-Design will receive career development opportunities, to include laboratory and field studies, attendance and presentations at interdisciplinary conferences and workshops, a design colloquium series, participation in interdisciplinary activities and journal publications, as well as training in the ethical conduct of research. The addition of OSU to the Center contributes to the diversity of the Center. One the co-PIs as well as over 25% of the participating faculty are women, typically underrepresented in engineering. The PI and other OSU faculty will emphasize involvement of women and minority graduate and undergraduate students. Research and educational findings will be shared with the industry and the center will work towards the technology transfer.
